60 Foggy-Petronas FP1 superbikes are up for grabs!

60 Foggy-Petronas FP1 superbikes are up for grabs!

Petronas FP1

Troy Corser was one of the riders that raced the Foggy-Petronas FP1 in World Superbike. Look at those flames!

There are many mysteries in the two-wheels world, but one that might be known to many Malaysians, is the story of the Foggy-Petronas brand and what happened to their bikes (read more about it down below).

Now, a British classic car a motorcycle restoration firm, Lazante Motorsports, will put an end to a part of this mystery, by putting 60 Foggy-Petronas FP1 superbikes for sale!

Using an Instagram post, Lazante Motorsports shown that they’ve got 60 units of the FP1 superbike, and they’re now restoring each and every bike back to its old glory. Using new-old stock parts (old parts that have never been used), the restoration firm will get every bike to running order, and to top it all out, they’ll also paint the fairings on each Foggy-Petronas FP1 in its original aqua green color.

The bikes are still being serviced in the United Kingdom, but as soon as all of them are ready, Lazante Motorsports will put them for sale, for a price that is said to be from RM132.250 but will likely skyrocket to higher values since this is a collector’s item.

For those of you that aren’t familiar with the story of the Foggy-Petronas brand and its FP1 superbike, there’s still a lot of unanswered questions to this day.

It all started when Malaysian oil giants Petronas decided they wanted to race in MotoGP, but somewhere along the way, the project shifted its focus to the World Superbike championship. From the collaboration with the famous World SBK champion, Carl Fogarty, and with the help of Sauber Formula 1 team, the Foggy-Petronas FP1 superbike was born.

Petronas FP1

The engine on this FP1 was fire breathing inline-three cylinder with 899 cc, with Foggy-Petronas having to reduce the displacement due to World Superbike rules at that time, in the early 2000’s. That engine is said to make 127 hp, but when the company finally homologated the bike for racing duties, championship rules changed in 2003, allowing for 1000 cc engines, and suddenly the FP1 superbike was now the underdog in the series, never achieving great results, even though they had the likes of Troy Corser and Chris Walker racing the bike.

By 2006, the team had to withdraw from racing, but the mystery about the 150 bikes the company built for homologation procedures remained.

From the 150 road legal units of the FP1 that Foggy-Petronas had to build and submit to the FIM for inspection, 75 were produced in Malaysia, in a brand-new facility that the oil giant had created just for this project, while the other 75 were produced in England and to be shipped to Malaysia when ready.

But, apparently, those bikes never reached Malaysian shores…

A legal case started, between Petronas and their Malaysian partners Momoto, and that case went on for so long that the bikes were lost and were nowhere to be found, until recently.

We’re still unsure which bikes are these that Lazante Motorsports has gotten their hands on, since the British company says on their Instagram page that the 60 Foggy-Petronas FP1 superbikes they’ll put for sale aren’t the ones that supposedly were to be shipped to Malaysia but never left England.

How they’ve ended up having so many Foggy-Petronas FP1 superbikes for restoration and for sale is a mystery, but the fact that so many of these special motorcycles will be available to buy very soon will surely make collectors around the world very interested in adding one of the FP1 bikes to their collections.

With more than ten years as a motorcycle journalist, i enjoy everything that has to do with two-wheels. I'm a fan of sport bikes and i prefer riding them on a racetrack, but give me a road filled with corners and good asphalt and i'll be there to have some fun!
